Hi all LyX users,
I need your help hints,ideas,howto knowledge.
1. I am running debian unstable and will probably install
the LyX version that is in there (currently lyx 1.1.5fix2-1)
Or I can probably be talked into compiling myself if needed.
2. First I would really like to have a nice looking screen output.
Does anyone have a list of ttf or other fonts to use. I am sure
I can experiment a little here but if someone has setup LyX with
a consistent set of true type fonts that would be great.
3. Is there any templates for a4 usage. And how do I create my own
template. For example I want a template without headers, a template
with side numbers, a template with graphical header etc
4. I would like to be able to create ps,pdf and html output. How can I do
that in a consistent way.
5. I have been writing technical documentation in LaTeX and my biggest problem
was the pictures. The resulting postscript files were VERY large.
And viewing the document (60 pages or so with lots of pictures) was slooow.
What is the best way to work with pictures in LyX ?
6. I need to do annotations (text, arrows, lines etc) in my pictures. What
programs are you using to do this ?
7. What else should I install and what can be done in the config files to
make my LyX as good as possible on a debian system.
That was lots of questions. The basic idea is to install and configure a
nice document writing program that will let me write mails, posters,
documents etc and to be able to get the output in ps,pdf and maybe html
format. And also I need hints on howto work with pictures inside LyX and
howto make high quality annotations to them.
I would also like the screen output to be as good as it gets. This is not
too important though but with the ttf ability nowadays this should be
possible.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best regards
Joakim Svensson
